QuoteF'n InBev and their $46 Billion Byout offer of AB. Dammit. Seriously, more and more foreign companies keep buying up US companies. Why the hell does this keep happening. It's been a scary trend in Food, Package Goods, and Grocery Store companies. This one is going to be brutal. I stand strong for all the AB folks here in St Louis as I've lived through a take over like this and if FUCKING SUCKS.

I saw this earlier and couldn't help but wonder why a Belgian Beer Co.
(generally good beer) would want to buy a large American beer company (generally not so good beer)?  Well, other than $$$$ of course.

And while I'm passing awards, I'd like to give a big Hobo FU to Costco for causing me to buy, for the third time, a bucket of mealy-bad-tasting plums.  Plus, they don't even work.

The Lollapalooza schedule just came out and if I end up going, I have some major choices to make.  This is also based on knowing who my friend I'm probably going with will want to see.  However, I do know that if I go, there won't be much time where there isn't anyone playing that I want to see.

Wilco vs. Rage Against the Machine
Explosions in the Sky vs. Brand New
Broken Social Scene vs. Battles vs. Lupe Fiasco
Nine Inch Nails vs. Kanye West
Cat Power vs. Grizzly Bear

Nope, you're good. I thought it was mine at first, but I looked and I have Itunes going, I'm downloading a flac, and reading 3 sites at the same time. I might be sucking up all the bandwith in Casa Koehler.

I saw them in April, it was a great show!  We were in the 3rd row and I loved it.  Personally I would go with EITS but my friend used to be a huge Brand New fan and I don't know if he'd want to skip them to see EITS again.

I've just been busy with work, and I hadn't been logging on to the forum lately b/c of all the drama.

But it's all good now. In fact, we're playing some K Log on the FM station RIGHT NOW.

I have to wait two and a half months to see MMJ at Philly. The wait really is killing me.

My 6yo daughter is freting about what cloths and shoes to wear to a party to look good. Oh god she's trying to accessorize. It's starting already! ahhhhhh Shoot me know. I do not not know what I'm going to do over the next 12 years.

OK so while clearing some bushes and a few small trees ealier, I fell backwards and slammed down on top of a couple of stumps from some small trees. Probably not a good thing that my back feels like someone just hit me with a baseball bat in the back, it's bruising up, and I'm pissin blood? I think I'm gonna go lay down for a while. ouch my fucking back hurts.
